In the interest of Fair Time:Yesterday, we saw Namor the Sub-Mariner reminisce about his time with the Defenders:But the sad fact of the matter is, well:No one remembers being in the Defenders fondly. At best, it's like remembering high school.If you remember it at all, I guess.

Even though I bought a grand total of one issue of the original Defenders as a kid (and hell, I'm right certain I didn't pick it but got it in a pack or pile somehow) I've picked up most of the series out of the quarter-bins. Sadly, I don't think that included all of the Steve Gerber issues. And even though I bag on them a bit, I'm definitely going to pick up the Valkyrie figure when (and if) that comes out, and it's a crime Nightwing--damnit, I mean Nighthawk!--doesn't have one yet. More Defenders, or the Shroud, or something before the weekend.

Off the top of anyone's head: what did Hulk call Hellcat and Valkyrie? Catlady and Swordgirl? Ah, I know he had mangled names for everyone, but haven't quite got it.
